Part II of the
disclosures vide Reply No. 35(2)/2017/D
(Pay/Services) dated 29 Nov 2017 received on 04 Dec 2017 is in connection
with SAFI 1 & 2/S/2008 on F No. 1(47)/2008/D (P/S)
-1-
The
resolution in respect of officers was issued on 30th August 2008 and
published in the Gazette as per Encl 1.
2. The draft Special Air Force Instructions have been received
from Air HQ for vetting by Ministry of Defence.
3. The draft instructions have been checked and appropriate
corrections made as per Encl 3-A.
4. In the above context, following issues regarding SNI are
submitted:
(a) The Apex Pay Scale of Rs 80,000/- (Fixed)
has been approved for those Lt Generals who could not become Army Commanders
for lack of residual service and these Lt Generals are not to exceed 6 in
number at a time.
It is
submitted that in the approval of Cabinet received from Ministry of Finance
that issue put up to the Cabinet was “Grant of Apex Scale to Lt Generals
overlooked due to less than 2 years of residual service. Not more than 6
officers to be given this scale at a time.” The same was agreed to and the
intended beneficiaries have been shown as “Senior Lt Generals in Armed Forces.”
It is, therefore, not clear whether this is applicable for Navy and Air Force
and if so whether figure of 6 is for all the three services or 6 each for Army,
Navy, Air Force.
(b) There is no post of Commodore mentioned in
the SNI. Instead Captain (Time Scale) in the scale Rs 17,100/- + Stagnation
increment + Rank Pay Rs 1600/-, Captain (Time Scale) in the scale of Rs
15100-17350 + Rank Pay Rs 1600/-, Captain with less than three years of service
and Captain with more than three years of service is mentioned.
(c) Group Captain (TS) is being deleted as was
done in the case of Army, pending specific approval of the issue.
(d) While indicating the computation table for
Group Captain, who was earlier in the pay scale of Rs 15100-17350/- has been
fitted at Rs 42120/- in the Pay Band-4 i.e. Rs 37400-42120/-. While this may be
true for the existing Colonel as on 01.01.06 but for those Colonel promoted
after 01.01.06 as their pay is fixed at Rs 37400/-.
Finance is requested to check the
above for necessary corrections.
